England-bound: Dani Alves
GETTY
Standard Sport2 October 2014

Brazil international Dani Alves is planning to leave Barcelona at the end of this season and join an English club, the full back confirmed on Wednesday.

"I am moving to England next year," he told Rio de Janeiro's O Globo newspaper. "I am going to play in the cradle of football. This will be my last year at Barcelona."

He did not say which club he might join or why he wanted to leave the Spanish giants.

The 31-year old joined Barcelona in 2008 and has won four La Liga crowns and two Champions League titles.

Both Manchester United and Chelsea have made enquiries for the marauding full back earlier this year.
